Child Centric Education

Our current education system is Teacher centric which means that the teacher is solely responsible for the completion of course and there is only one way transaction of thoughts i.e. teachers to students and this creates an infinite distance between them. No matter how hard school management tries to cope up with this separation but it keeps on increasing. In recent years, smart classes have been introduced in the schools to increase the involvement of students and create interest wherein concepts are being taught with the aid of audio/visuals but apparently it doesn't seems to be promising as after a certain duration even the audio visuals gets monotonous narration of concepts, moreover students as well as teachers feel detached.

The need of hour is to devise a curriculum which is child centric wherein a child feel attached with teachers, audio/visual aids and other equipment being used. The curriculum should be in accordance to the child’s interest. A perfect combination of child’s interest, audio/visual aids, interactive activities etc.

MESF program is an interactive activity workshop especially designed for classes VI to X. That aims to nurture Activity Centric Education in young minds by practical implementation of concept being taught in traditional class rooms with the aid of exclusively designed child centric curriculum.

MESF is an initiative by young and enthusiastic engineers to bring complete transformation in the present education system from rote learning to fun to learn process with implementation of child centric curriculum. MESF is a setup in association with non profit organization PLANET YUVA.

MESF targets in development of child centric curriculum with the help of children. It will solely depend on students how and what they want to learn. Since most of the learning process is done in formative years of child so MESF workshops are exclusively designed for students for VI TO X, So that the formative years of child become solid base for future. Every child has a gifted mind having a particular quotient, creative, innovative, academic etc. the need is to explore that part of child and MESF helps in achieving the same.

MESF doesn't provide full time classes but tries to give the practical implementation of concepts being taught in classrooms in the form of workshops. The motto is to blend the current educational system with creativity, innovation and live realization of concepts instead of rote learning with the aid of activities and audio visuals.
